Even though you are wrong, the women get bashed/slagged everyday, things happen to be different. The women lose much less than the men and they get paid considerably less then the men. I contend that it hurts more to pay guys millions a year, some $20 million a year,then claim they are the very best in the world, and then watch them lose to guys paid at least 1/3 of what the American team composed of NBA players are paid. You must remember the mens team has at times lost to teams that do not have any NBA players on their roster.
I guess it is rather easy to see a women's team who you claimed could not really play lose to other women who you claim cannot play either. I would think it has to hurt more for the guys when you say these guys are so much better than the women and then they (the men) cannot even shoot a mid-range jumper. That is why the men get criticized so much when they lose in international competitions.
Finally, there are two other points that you should know. Until recently, about 10 years ago, women's basketball in the USA was somewhat treated like the red headed stepchild. When the first dream team went the the Olympics in 1992 the men were put in first class and given champagne while the women were put in coach and given the airline food. Secondly, the host of the Sports Bash on ESPN radio, Erik Causilis told sports fans from Seattle that they could not claim that their state had won a championship in that the championship was won by the Seattle Storm (the WNBA team) and that did not actually count as a championship. So that is why very few people are bashing the women's team the way they do the men.
